The head of Japan’s central bank told local outlet Nikkei on Sept. 8 that accommodative monetary policy would continue even after the pandemic subsides in a bid to hit a 2 percent inflation target, a goal that has been undershot for years.
Haruhiko Kuroda, Governor of the Bank of Japan, said that the central bank’s yield curve control policy would remain in place even if fiscal policy becomes more expansionary, according to Nikkei.
